Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Neurodegenerative diseases progressively damage specific cells and connections in the brain and/or spinal cord, exacting an enormous toll on the health of people living with these diseases, as well as their families and caregivers. ALS is a particularly devastating and complex neurodegenerative disease that affects the neurons that control voluntary muscle movement. People with the disease become progressively weaker and lose their ability to walk, talk, swallow, and eventually breathe on their own, with most people dying within 3-5 years of symptom onset. Four ALS therapies-three disease-modifying, plus one symptom-managing-have been approved by the (U.S.) Food and Drug Administration. Yet, to develop highly effective ALS treatments, numerous challenges remain to be addressed. Hope rests on treatments that are currently in development, or those that will follow based on the identification and validation of new therapeutic targets. Most appealing are treatments that might be instituted in those with genetic causes of ALS even before symptoms begin or uncovering the still mysterious environmental factors that cause ALS. Beginning with a brief history of the disease, an overview of the diseases of the nervous system, and primers on the scientific bases of the disease, this volume elucidates the nature of the disease and sets forth its signs, symptoms and stages. It discusses the genetics and etiology of ALS, its action mechanisms, and the difficulties encountered at reaching a correct diagnosis. It addresses the management and treatment approaches, the prognosis, and summarizes the research and latest developments in the field, including eventual participation in clinical trials. It concludes by answering many of the frequently asked questions about the disease, lists the several resources and support available, and provides guides and guidance for the patients, their families and caregivers.

Risk Communication in Public Health Emergencies
This book clearly explains how public health officials plan, deliver, and evaluate crisis and emergency risk communication before, during, and after health emergencies. Organized into four parts - precrisis planning, communicating during a health emergency, communicating and evaluating after a health emergency, and crisis leadership - it offers practical information as well as the opportunity to reflect on emergency risk communication best practices and theories. Including information on precrisis planning, implications of public health law, developing communication plans, writing messages, evaluating emergency risk communication, and crisis leadership, this book brings together theory and practical application to provide working professionals with evidence-based research and practical knowledge to effectively communicate during health emergencies. Case studies of emergencies such as COVID-19, Zika, Ebola, Mpox, and water crises all use the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Crisis and Emergency Risk Communication framework to analyze how health officials provided accurate and actionable health information to the public.

The Engineered Primate
What if the greatest mystery of Nutrition... has gone unnoticed?For generations we have accepted tidy explanations: Eat this, avoid that, follow the rules.But beneath the surface, something just doesn't add up.The human body thrives without our conscious control: Meals disappear, nutrients are sorted, and energy appears out of nowhere - with no chef, no control tower, no captain.Which really begs the question: how does it all work?The Engineered Primate is a journey into the logistics of life. It is an exploration of the hidden mechanisms that shape us from the inside out. Each chapter peels back a layer: Why does digestion even exist?What was the environmental pressure in deep time that made a digestive system necessary?How does order arise in a body with no conscious overseer?...and why have we rarely asked these questions when creating our nutritional models?This is not another diet manual.It is a trail of clues inviting you to reconsider what you thought you knew about the very act of eating.

Planetary Health Humanities and Pandemics
This volume explores the variable meanings and discourses of historical and contemporary pandemics to rethink theories and practices of planetary health.Rather than conflating the planetary with anthropogenic climate change, planetary geo-engineering, or the "global," the volume elaborates a version of planetary health humanities that invites decolonial, creative, and pluridisciplinary modes of thinking and sees "health" as a complex non-anthropocentric process that moves within the multiple scales of the planetary. The volume offers new historical trajectories as it considers an eighteenth-century woman author's readings of plague, intersecting narratives of nineteenth-century lactation and vaccination, and the forgotten biopolitics of NASA's Planetary Quarantine Program. It offers accounts of decolonial and oracular planetary health, insists that the role of literature in the health humanities is not merely instrumental, explores viral and planetary co-inhabitations, and scrutinizes inequities faced by global health workers. The volume also includes discussions of cybernetic addiction and the complex entanglements of humans, microbes, and bees. Its concluding interview addresses the concrete impact of current planetary transformations on individual and collective health.Bringing together multiple disciplines, the volume will be of interest to students and scholars in health humanities, literary studies, postcolonial studies, medical history, and narrative medicine.
Becoming the Vision
What if the way you see the world-and yourself-is the key to your deepest healing?In Becoming the Vision, Dr. Angela Peddle invites readers on a profound journey into the often-overlooked power of vision-not just as a function of the eyes, but as a transformative force that lives within the body, heart, and soul. Drawing from years of clinical expertise and spiritual insight, Dr. Peddle offers a fresh and compassionate approach to healing-one that begins not with fixing, but with remembering.This book is not a manual or a prescription. It is a mirror, a map, and a sacred invitation to return to the clarity that lives beneath our conditioning and chaos. Whether you're a practitioner, a parent, or simply someone longing for wholeness, Becoming the Vision will challenge you to reimagine what it truly means to see-and be seen.Through stories, reflections, and gently radical insights, Dr. Peddle reveals how our deepest vision is not something we learn, but something we reclaim. It is how we awaken. It is how we become.

Purge and Bleed
Explaining the deadly stasis of American medicine in the nineteenth century The 1793 yellow fever epidemic in Philadelphia was a shock to the system of American medicine--or it should have been. In the decades that followed the most infamous health crisis of the early republic, American doctors by and large failed to move beyond ancient ideas of disease and treatment. The contentiousness of Philadelphia's medical community, led by Benjamin Rush, prevented any meaningful advances in response to the outbreak. Marshall Foletta investigates this peculiar dormancy over the course of the long nineteenth century and reveals how little had changed by the time of the 1832 cholera epidemic--leading, he argues, to exhaustion and despair among medical professionals and fatalism among the general public. Only at the end of the century did researchers make the all-important breakthroughs that produced an antidote to yellow fever. This is the story of how received wisdom became dangerously entrenched in the early United States, and the deadly consequences of scientific stagnation and intellectual inertia.

The Pause to Relax
Cardiovascular disease is the #1 killer of men and women globally. When Linda Penkala created her Wise Heart Health Program and her Nine Pillars to Prevent Heart Disease, it evolved from the lessons she learned and the impact of stress on health outcomes. Drawing on her extensive experience and knowledge as a wellness educator and licensed massage therapist with over 38 years of experience, she felt compelled to be part of the solution. The one statistic that impacted her the most was that, more than all cancers combined, women are dying of heart disease more than men. Her curiosity was that chronic stress could be a factor and that one answer could be pausing, relaxing, and making wiser wellness choices.
